The doctor walked up to me
And told me I was dying
I asked him why
He sadly replied
“Parasites swarm your body
They steal your oil
Plunder your fossils
Smoke your lungs
Burn you to a crisp
Hunt your endangered bacteria for sport
Take more
They kill each other
For more
They carve your skin
Into mansions
They steal your life
They kill you”
I started to cry
And that was before
He mentioned they were transmittable
My dear friend,
Mars,
Who stood by the door,
Began to cry
Knowing he was next
He would die from the same fate
And Venus,
My girl,
Would be after him
Oh
How frightful
My parasites
Would kill everyone
In my galaxy, my system
The doctor handed me
A purple vial
The words
COVID-19
Etched onto it
He sighed
And said “drink
This is your only
Chance at
Survival
This will kill many
Of your parasites
Just pray they don’t build
Immunity
This will wipe
Them out
Just drink it”
I didn’t feel a choice
So I drank
Begone, parasites!
I shall be free of you
Soon!
